Tanner is pretty proud lately of his breakdancing skills. Yes - I said breakdancing. He's thrashing around on the floor...spinning...sporting a full-blown centipede move. With a snazzy Kidz Bops Dance CD in the background he's thinking he's pretty hot stuff!
He busted out with an appropriately stated "Gag me with a spoon" a few nights ago and I absolutely lost it! Love the use of an unprompted idiom I guess...but seriously?
Listen fellow parents (or teachers?) - the 80s were generally speaking a once in a lifetime decade that need not be lived again through our children. Don't you think? :) 80s rock is the clear exception to this rule, of course!
Yet someone out there is leaking snip-its from the 80s vault to their kids...then on to my kids...and I'm not sure if I should laugh or be embarrassed at the memory of it all or cry? Given the blog title...laugh it will be I guess :)
I'm half expecting an excited request from Tanner for parachute pants or a mullet by the weekend at this rate. What else should I be bracing myself for from a 7 year old boy who seems to be time-warping back to the days of legwarmers and friendship pins and AquaNet by the gallon? I remember much of the girly stuff, but boy stuff I'm at a loss on.
